Planets do not revolve around the Sun, they orbit.

The planet which orbits slowest is Neptune at about 165 earth years per orbit [Pluto is a dwarf planet and orbits approximately once every 248 earth years].

How long does Pluto revolve around the sun?

Pluto's orbital path is quite eccentric ... its minimum distance from the sun is onlyabout 61 percent of its maximum distance, and as we all know, a planet movesfastest when it's nearest the sun, and slowest when it's farthest away from thesun. But the online reference that I consulted lists Pluto's 'average' orbital speedas 4.666 kilometers per second (2.9 miles per second), and I'm certainly neitherpositioned nor motivated to dispute that.


What layer of atomphere protects humans from theSun's harmful rays?

The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, helps to protect humans from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by absorbing and scattering them. This helps to minimize the risk of skin damage, cataracts, and skin cancer caused by UV radiation.


Why it is harmful to watch solar eclipse with naked eyes?

Watching a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can cause serious damage to the eyes due to the intense solar radiation. The radiation can burn the sensitive tissues in the eyes, leading to permanent vision impairment or even blindness. It is essential to use proper solar eclipse viewing glasses or indirect viewing methods to protect your eyes.


Why don't solar and lunar eclipses occur every month?

Solar and lunar eclipses don't occur every month because the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is not aligned with the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.The Moon's path is tilted when compared to the plane of Earth's orbit, so the Moon is not in a direct line with the Sun and Earth. In a solar eclipse, the Moon must be directly between the Sun and the Earth. Similarly, in a lunar eclipse (slightly more frequent), the shadow of the Earth has to fall on the Moon.


How the appearance of earth would change if you watched it from near side of the moon for the month?

It would stay in the same place in the sky all the time and would go through the full range of phases from crescent Earth to Full Earth in a month. The Sun would travel round the sky once in that time so that you would have 14 days day followed by 14 days night. Full Earth would happen in the middle of the night, which would be handy.

Because from every point on the rainbow, the angle between the direction to thesun and the direction to your eye has to be the same angle. The only collectionof points that can do that is all the points on a circle.
